This New Years’ Gift, is doubtless more acceptable to them, than any other we could bestow. But it will be remembered, we hope, that no obligation rested upon us, ao for as the subscribers to the Tri-Weekly Ex* •miner are concerned, to furnish a daily paper, much loss to increase the size </ that paper to the dimensions of the one we now present to them. Other motives have governed us in our enterprize: We have heen favored, both by subscribers und nd* vertiters, with a patronage no liberal, and m> far beyond onr expectations at the out set of onr career, that wo could do am lots than w< have done; and wo now take oc rnsiou t<> Any, that, should oireumatHßee* warrant, w»» Mitdl not stop even here, but will go on iitcrwhing in onr dimcnaiune? as the demands made upon our eolmons by advertisers and snbarriben nuiy warrant | Os thia, our patrons may be insured. , We have now a word more to pay tn the mcrchanta of Atlanta, onr patrons, mid friends. It is st no inconsiderable untley *n<l ex pense, that wo furnish for your use the paper we do. Have wc not, therefore, a right to expect some return at your hands? Do you not derive the advantages which a daily journal bestows upon all commercial ci|ies? Is not our city increasing in its growth ; in wealth; in importance; in en terprize? What tends more to advance its prosperity than the press? And how ’ cun that press be sustained, when mer chants neglect, or pass by with indiffer ence, its demands upon their support-—a support which, like the flood that is sown, yields mo abundant a harvest But we | need not press these interrogat jries t bero. Through an Agent we shall shortly ca’j upon our merchants mid citizens for their favors in advertizing, and for additional subscribers; and with th»w remarks we close, wishing our road'.rs s “ floppy Vrir Flwr," and nil iiuaginiblo prosperity. THE INTELITgENCER AGAIN. The Editor of the Intelligencer, in his paper of the 30th ultimo, discovers a [■ “ Mwra’n Acs/.'” He triumphantly asks jf we were the author of nn article signed ■ K “ ??'•<? Mouth Dcmorrut,” which appeared in the “ Republican'* sofiie months ago, l without even adducing the first point of .proof. We believe it a principle in Law, 1 * that no man is to bo prunmineed guilty, until evidence is produced of his guilt— hence we ask the Editor of the Intelligen cer to support his interrogatories with evi dence, and then we shall be prepared with our answer to his silly charge What wo meant, however, when we said we were a native born Democrat, we shall explain. It was, that we were a Southern man by birth and educatb n that we never belonged t» the Whig par ty--that our Democracy win a i a fund, in t ’an artificial result. Now, we ask in nil conaciencv, can the Intelligencer say the L same ? Is it not, on the other hand, a I fart, that the Editor of the Intelligencer I was n native born Whig, all the way from Western New York, when he that came to this city? If so, we ask what has pro duced so sudden n presto, veto, change ? I What di<l “come o’er the spirit of his ■ dream ?" I But aside from all this, if the Intclli- I gcurer is u Ihunoeratic press, why attempt I to destroy the harmony and peace of the j Democratic Party ? Arc traitors paid for their treachery ? Doff your feathers Mr h Intelligencer, an I net with your friends.' Be one tiling or nothing!

MR. MAIER'S STUDIO—THE FINE ARTS. Chancing the other day to visit Mr- Maier’s Studio, which is in Hayden’s new building, we were much gratified at the fine display of portraits of children, in several tableaux, grouped together, aud repr .seated in out-door scenery, surround ed by a genial landscape. A sight of these portraits is well worth a visit to the studio of this excellent artist. Parents, particu. larly, would be delighted with them Most of our citizens haie had ample op portunity of testing Mr. Malevas an artist j but not until they have seen bis portraits of children in their out door sports, can they form an adequate idea of what art can do, and bis merit as an Artist. While he remains: in Atlanta, we hope that none of our citizens will go abroad tor a portrait, tor if they do, they will not, we feel assured, fare as wall. Our readers, at a distance too, would de well to remember that Mr. Maier's services can always be secured, in the line of his profession. — Those who <b«ire to possess a work of art, combined with faithful and spirited like nesses of themselves, or families, should | sieze the opportunity now affoided them. I Ilis card will be found in our columns. BLAKELY'S ORCHESTRAL CHORUS COMPANY. In our advertising columns the card of this company will be found, announcing a performance t »-night, at Hayden’s Hall. We are advised (hat this entertainment will be of a character well worthy the pat ronage of ail classes of our citizens, par ticul.uly those who are fond of good mu. sic. At the opening of the New Year, when amusement is nought after, what can better tend to social enjoyment, than a re sort to where music, bothinstiumcntal atid vocal, can be heud? ’Weeonfcss we know of none, and therefore advise our citizens? particularly the ladies vs Atlanta, tu seize upon the opportunity presented by this celebrated company of Biakcly ; s, for en joying a pleasant evening, while they re main in this city. A NEW GOMMISSION HOUSE. We call the attention <<f our mad rs to the card of D A Garhett, Fact?r and Commission Merchant, which appears in our paper to-day Experienced In thia line <d* businwaa, en ergetic and faithful to his consignees, Mr. Garrett will doubtless do well in our city Wd therefore call special attention to his Curd, und hope that bis uHe*prize will Lc attend d withall the success, Lis industry and < n *rgy liny met it. THE SOUTH CAROLINA BANKS. We have heard with surprise that an ef fort has been made in the interior of Geor gia to discredit the circulation of the. Banks of this State, on the assnmption that a few, (a very few,) failures of joercbants here had endangered their solvency. The ob ject appears to have been to drive out ot circulation the notes of South Carolina Banks, in order that the void might be filled by certain irresponsible concerns, whose untrustworthiness has been repeat edly alluded to in tljo Augusta papers. Before the farmers and planters of Geor gia allow themselves to be victimized by such tricks, they ought to consider well these two important facts: Ist, nu Bank in South Carolina has ever become bank rupt ; 2d, every Bank in this State is un der the restriction, that its stockholder* are liable to the public fur double the par value of their stock in case of its failure, und this liability continues fur twelve months after the ttansfer of the stu.’k Hence it is next to impossible tha’ those who hold the notes of our Banks shall suf fer loss, even in case of failure, unless when they yield tu the feeling of panic, and hastily sacrifice their money But there is no good ground fi>r panic. The banking system of South Carolina is too healthy ami solid to be disturbed by any pressure like the present—CVor.-Z/aVoi .Mi ifurl/, NEW The Journal of Commerce of Saturday says: The money market maintains the slight improvement last noticed, and although there is some anxiety in regard to the pay ments maturing during the next few days,; w<* think the trouble is burrowed, and the; money will not be wanting. A large amount of funds now accumulated for the payment of int r.st and dividends will Ih> unlocked, and this will go into the banks. Large payments at the bank always imply l large receipts by the banks, and except for debts due out of the vity, matter how large the payments are if those who 1 ave the ability will Out try to borrow the money to.> long in advance. Even where burrow-1 era do this, the sum thus prepared swells’ the aggregate deposit, so that the amount offering for short loan is not diminished.

The Senator from Mississippi, in his speech in defence of bis bill to change the period of residence necessary to naturaliz ation from five to twenty-one years, express ed very’ gieat fear lest the United States should be overrun by foreigners. As this fear is entertained by a great many of our readers, we propose, in this article, to pre l sent the facts, as disclosed by the last cen sus, relating to this subject. Table LXl'I of the census of 1850 §ives the ratio of increase in the United _tates of whites, free colored, slaves, and total population from 1790 to 1850. I DECENXIAL INCREASE PER CENT. Whites, Free Colored, Sl -v s. i 1809 35.68 82.28 25.( 1 1810 36.18 72.00 33.04 182 u 34.12 25 25 29.10 183 » 34.03 36.86 30.62 1810 34.72 20.87 23.81 I 1850 37.74 12.47 28.82 The increase of whites from 1800 to 1810 and from 1840 to 1859 is a little j larger than for the other decennial periods. 1 This is explained by the fact that in the first period we acquired Louisiana, and in the second California We take it, there fore, that 34.29 is the true and correct ratio of decennial increase in the white population of the United States, and that this ratio of increase has been kept up from 1790 until the present hour, and will never be exceeded. If, therefore, the U i uited States have not already become de nationalized, by foreign immigration, there is no danger that they ever will become so, inasmuch as the native population has in creased to such n bulk that the ratio of ; increase by generation must necessarily ' keep pace with the inercarc us immigra- I tion. In all calculations upon the iucreii.se of i our foreign population, political and cleric i al statisticians forget that foreigners can, i and do die ; they add year by year the ar l rivals at our ports, make no deduction for . deaths, and startle themselves and their ert t dulous follow-, rs with the stupendous Leaps j of Irish, in figures, that lime will bring among ns. But lot us pursue a more philosophical course. Theccnsusof 1850 shows that there were at that time 17,737,- 578 native horn inhabitants in the United States, and only 2 210,830 foreign bnrn, in which number me included the Mexi cans of T<-xns,-California and New Mexi ■co The proportion us natives to foreign | era in the United States is as b to 1, and i yet men ass .ct to b ? alarmed least the gov ernment t f the country ?hall pass into the foreigner. But who are these foreisners ? They come from 31 different nationalities, speaking different languages, ptofessing I different creeds, and scattered from Maine to Texas, and from Virginia to California | —Catholics from Ireland, Infidels from ' France, Mystics from Germany, Protest i ants from great Britain, Holland, Belgium | Scandanavia. and Helvetia. Greeks trom Russia, Mohomedans from Turkey, and ; Idolaters from China—a n altitude from all ' nations people and tongues, who agree in nothing but devotion to our native land and the liberty which makes it the polit ical Mecca of “the oppressed of every country and the martyr of every creed.’ The fears of the Hon Senator are the fumes of an exrited imagination Amer i ica has been, and always will be governed by Americans, but she will gladly put to i use the talents of foreign born citizt ns 1 when they show themselvts worth}’ of bi r confidence, as she has done from the com tnencement of the Revolution to this hour Let us recur for one moment to the rec-»rdx of the past. Alexander Hamilton was a foreign bom citizen. Called bj’ Washington to the post of Secretary of the Treasury, which was by fur the most important in the ad ministration of the new system of Govern ment, “ the whole country,” saysWib 3ter, “ perceived with doligl-t and the I whole world saw with admiration, how he - fulfilled the duties of such a place, at such | a time. He smote the rock of national resources, and abundant streams of reve nue gushed forth He touched the dead corpse of the public credit and it sprung upon its feet The fabled birth of Miner va, from the brain <if Jove, was hardly more sudden or more perfect than the fi nancial system of the United States, as it burst forth from the conceptions of Alex ander Hamilton." Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, was a Foreign born citizen. And of him the same high authority asks —‘ Who will ev-. er forget that, iu the most disastrous days of thy Revolution, when the treasury of the country wis bankrupt, with unpaid navies, and starving armies, it was a mcr- I chant—Robert Morris of Philadelphia— I who by a noble sacrifice of his own fortune. I as well ashy the exercise of his great It- j nanciai abilities, sustained and supported i the wise men of the country in council ■ and the brave men of the country in the j field of battle ! ’ Albert Gallatin was a foreign born citi- i zen Yet the fathers of the Repu' lie ' scut him to Europe as Miniser Plenipo tentiary of the United States, made him j Secretary of the Treasury, and invested j him with other high and responsible uff. •> - 1 Iu like manner will their descendants ' honor and tru§t their foreign ci'izens I when found worthy.

TWENTY MILERACE IN COLUMBIA. S C. The lovers of the sports of the Turf will read the following account of the second race of the kind; we are told, over run in this country —.five four mile heats. The victor is owned in Nashvillee and has run several races there. —AqgW'fa <£’ Sentinel. COiiGARLE JOCKT CLUB RACES, I December 15, 1854. ; Four Mile Heats—Purse 3700 —The three enterics for this day’s race, were Griff. Edmondson, Ellin Evans und Cor delia Reed. Griff, was the favorite at long odds, a hundred to thirty being offered ' freely on him, against the field. Griff. Edmondson won the track, took the lead, closely followed by Cordelia Reed for the first two miles; Fallen Evans then made play, and succeeded in lessening the dis tance between them, but was unable tu reach the horse, Griff, winning the beat with considerable ease by three or four lengths, Ellen Evans coming in second. — Time : 8.01. The result of this heat greatly increas ed the confidence in the horse, and the race was considered by his backers as won. After the usual delay the three started again, Griff taking the lead, closely press ed by both of the mares, Ellen Evans run ; ning at him for the first two miles, when she dropped behind, Cordelia Reed taking her place just in the rear of the horse Upon the quarter stretch of the last mile. Griff, still ahead, swung out some feet from the inside, and was closely pressed by Mr. Campbell’s mare. When about the dis tance stand she attempted to pass him on the outside, but the direction given the horse by his rider compelled her to fall be hind, when she again attempted to pa-s him on the inside, but the rider of the horse changed his course, forcing the mare almost against the fence, and came out ahead by halt a length. There was a uni versal cry of foul riding and the Stewards appointed for the purpose reported foul riding to the judges, who decided unani mously that such was the case, ruling the horse and his rider off of the track and giving the heat to Cordelia Reed. [Time: 8.07. The race was now a very doubtful one, and although Cordelia Reed had the ad vantage of a heat, few were willing to give any odds upon her. The start for this heat was a fair one and both mares dashed off side by side, and seemed unwilling to part company, running lock, and lock for the first three and a half miles, Cordel ia Reed generally a neck ahead, but new and then completely covered by Ellen— on the quarter stretch of the lust mile, Ellen succeeded in obtaining a slight ad vantage, and maintained it to the string, winning the heat only one length. [Time: 8.14 ( Three beats hud already been run and the race was as doubtful as ever, botb having won a heat. Tho advantage which Elli-.n had gained last heat not being con sidered decisive, since she had to contend against a Wagner, whose owner declared would canter as lung us any u her nag in the world. The result justified his opin ion. The start was perfectly fair and the heat very similarthroughout to the last one, the mares running togeth r in a most friendly manner, until the last quarter, when Cordelia Reed took the lead for ‘ sjiue distance, but wis unable tn m-'int du it. Ellen Ev ns gaining slowly upon her, succeeded in locking her just as they reached the string. The Judges decided that it was a dead h«-at. Time: 8.40. Sixteen miles had now been run and both mures were evidently much distress i ed, still it was impossible to decide who should have the purse without another he-it. and who would be the winner no one could tell. The time of this bent was necessarily v«*n slow, rnd Juiiu./ the greater portion o 4 ’ it ihe mans* -ieni-.d merely to gallop ridon Evan.; ‘ook th 1 lead, but was b ateu under the string •_ f the second mile.

The most extraordinary collection in this country, is to be seen in the copyright bureau of the Department of State This collection is made up of a single speci men of each musical composition which ha* been isseud in the United States for the past third of a century, for which a copyright has been secured—it being re quired by law that a single copy of each work thus copyrighted shall be deposited in the Department of State. The im mense mass of music which has thus ac cumulated. has recently been arranged, and neatly and substantially bound. The result is beheld in one hundred and twen ty thick volumes—sixty volumes of songs, and sixty volumes of instuinental music ; each volume containing at least three times the quantity of music usually com prehended iu volumes of the kind, ave raging, some two hundred and fifty pages in each volume, or thirty thousand pages in the whole, averaging also, more than sixty pieces in each volume, or nearly one th >usand in all; and thus making an ag gregate of more than three hundred vol umes of vocal and ins tumen tai music of the size usually seen on piano fortes. ■ ■ ■ Perhaps the best joke of season is the. fa t that, after the election in Lynn.

There had been considerable excite j meat in Sun Francisco in consequence of a writ of Habeas Corpus having been is sued for the discharge of certain Russian prisoners confined on board the Sitka — j the vessel captured at the affair of Petro- I paulowski. The writ was served and the • commander ordered to bring the prisoners . before the Court on the 27th ult. On the 26th, however, the Sitka sailed for Van couver's Island. Steps were taken the , next morning to issue an attachment ■ against the officers, should they come , within the jurisdiction of the Court. 1 tiirty houses were consumed at Hap ! py Valley on the 2otb ult.

The evening train I came in as usual, and on arriving at the very heavy grade just north of the depot I the brakes were attempted to be applied, 1 ami the motion r-.versed, so as ts- stop the ■ progress of the cars; but some aecident occurring to the m. chinerj, it was found ; impossible to do so, and the train came rushing down the plane, past the depot, aiid so on tu the wharf, where, meeting a ! piece of timber placed at its edge for the • prevention of just such accidents, the lo comotive and tender bounced over into the river, thereby breaking the connection with the train, and opposing such other • übstacles a-’ t<> arrest its progiess. It was most fortunate and providential that the i coupling irons connecting the engine with the ears bloke, else the entire tram, load | wl with passengers, would have been prob ably precipitated into the river, causing a f’-. anu! loss of life. As it was, however, but one pers n received injury.—-Mr. Quarles, the mail agent, who sprang from I the car and broke his arm One man ; went over with the locomotive info the river, but was saved. The engineer and i fireman jumped off before reaching the wharf.
